- This is a simple color test to see if the NiSi Swift VND filters are as "true color" as they claim. Pretty cool that NiSi was willing to stick their neck out and sponsor this test. Hope you all enjoyed.

Been using these filters for a little over a year now, they're awesome
Right on! Yeah, for me they've been great so far! Have you had any issues that could help other people make an informed purchase?
@@connormccaskill The only issue I've encountered with it is abuse from my own hands. I've taken it off of lenses so many times (and gotten it stuck on one) that it now will rotate past its Min/Max points
Clicked for the filter, stayed for the anamorphic 🤤
Man, if I had had a lil more budget for a filter, woulda got this one
They’re solid
i think when testing vnds you should always also show the polarizing effects. this doesnt matter too much when indoors, but especially outdoors it shows very often (also depending on how the whole filter itself is being rotated), especially in the sky but also reflections, screens etc. just so people get that color is not the only negative aspect of variable nd, but it also changes other aspects of the image in sometimes quite drastic ways.
Ah yeah that’s a fair point I should have considered
got the swift kit after using freewell filters for a while and having to colour correct all my videos, love them!
Yeah they’re great for me so far!
Got two sets, best VND for color accuracy that's I've used. Just wish the BPM was 1/8 just like you said as well ! Other than that, prefect. Nisi just needs to make a 15mm mattebox now ;)
That would be cool!
i spent all my money on nisi after watching this, Thankyou so much for this amazing content.
My pleasure.
Great tests! I’ve seen way more color shift going between 2 different lenses than the difference between this VND and nothing.
Great point!
What lens was this video shot on (at 1:40)? It looks really interesting!
It was shot with the Blazar CATOs! I'll have a video on them soon
@@connormccaskill Thank you so much!
sunglasses for your camera , nice analagy.
are they also "gamechanging"?
great video, congrats. Im going to use your affiliate links to buy
Haha I'm sensing sarcasm, but honestly this comment is pretty funny. Hope you enjoyed the video man
Out of many VNDs I’ve tried, NiSi is the best one.
That’s awesome 👏
Great video like always!
Have you ever tried the slr magic variable ND filters? I had used tiffen, and hoyas in the past but the SLR magic 🤌🤌🤌
Oooooo not yet! I’ll have to look into those! Why do you like them?
@@connormccaskill man, I cannot see much color cast if any at all. They have hard stops and they are oversized (which sometimes can be annoying ) so there's no cross pattern. The just work for me.
